The row inside the Labour party over anti-semitism deepened today.

:01:07.:01:12.

The party leader Jeremy Corbyn insisted that Labour was united

in opposing racism and one of his supporters, the head

of Britain's biggest union, Len McCluskey, accused some Labour

A barrage of further questions for Jeremy Corbyn.

Are you going to Israel, Jeremy? Jeremy?

People are choosing to be offended in order to dislodge Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:19.:02:25.

I don't think it should affect Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:26.:02:27.

I don't think it will affect Jeremy Corbyn, and I will be

:02:28.:02:31.

delighted to say I will be supporting Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:32.:02:34.

Jeremy Corbyn's insisted he's always opposed racism in all forms,

:02:35.:02:40.

but this row has now led to new questions about his

:02:41.:02:43.

as a critical test. from elections which will be seen

:02:44.:02:50.

Labour's candidate for London mayor, Sadiq Khan,

:02:51.:02:53.

told a Sunday newspaper the row could harm his prospects,

:02:54.:02:55.

had been mishandled. the whole crisis

:02:56.:03:01.

If action had been taken earlier, we could have nipped

:03:02.:03:03.

this problem in the bud, but it hasn't been gripped.

:03:04.:03:07.

I hope it's now finally been gripped after the Livingstone fiasco this

:03:08.:03:09.

week, but we will be judged on what we do.

:03:10.:03:12.

But the Unite union leader, Len McCluskey, accused some Labour

MPs of aiding and abetting the Tories and right wing

press to undermined their own leader.

:03:21.:03:23.

This is nothing more than a cynical attempt to manipulate

:03:24.:03:26.

anti-Semitism for political aims, because this is all about

:03:27.:03:28.

constantly challenging Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.

:03:29.:03:34.

You don't need any more pictures of me.

Ken Livingstone has refused to back down from his claim that

:03:51.:03:54.

The comments we have heard over the last two or three weeks

:03:55.:03:57.

that were made public, it has got nothing to do

:03:58.:04:00.

Has this damaged your leadership? particular Israeli policy.

:04:01.:04:05.

The pressure on Jeremy Corbyn is far from over, with Labour braced

:04:06.:04:09.

for significant losses at this week's elections.

Carole is in Westminster. to Israel, Mr Corbyn?

:04:14.:04:18.

Undoubtedly there are a number of in the idea that this row has been

:04:19.:04:25.

Undoubtedly there are a number of Labour MPs who've never been happy

:04:26.:04:29.

with Jeremy Corbyn's leadership and a few who might try to use it to

instigate some sort of moves against instigate some sort of moves against

:04:41.:04:43.

the Labour Party and if the leadership were to try toe sweep

:04:44.:04:49.

this aside as simply being got at by a group of Labour MP who is don't

:04:50.:04:53.

like him, that would make matters even worse for Jeremy Corbyn. The

:04:54.:04:56.

problem is that this whole row's now drowning out any of the other

:04:57.:05:00.

messages that Labour would like to be getting across ahead of those

:05:01.:05:04.

important elections in Scotland, Wales, London, and local councils

:05:05.:05:08.

right across the country. Many Labour MPs are deeply pessimistic

:05:09.:05:12.

about their prospects and, if their fears are realised if Labour does

:05:13.:05:15.

think it will be very difficult think it will be very difficult

In Brazil, there have now been almost 1200 confirmed

Doctors have now told the BBC that microcephaly is just

As more is known about Zika, specialists say the risk

TRANSLATION: The expectation is that a woman who has had Zika has

here on these so-called mini brains is proof of just how effective

:07:01.:07:03.

and destructive the Zika virus can be.

:07:04.:07:07.

What we see here is the cerebral cortex.

In three days, we saw really a massive cell death.

In six days, the neuro spheres were completely gone.

Zika infection and cases of microcephaly are spreading

The Government has dismissed reports that it could force the BBC

:08:14.:08:17.

with programmes on rival channels. popular shows to avoid clashing

:08:18.:08:22.

Several newspapers say the Culture Secretary John

:08:26.:08:30.

This report from our Arts Correspondent David Sillito.

:08:31.:08:35.

Exterminate! the traditional prime-time

:08:36.:08:46.

Dr Who, Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor.

:08:47.:08:48.

with the beginning of X Factor? of Strictly often overlap

:08:49.:08:53.

Why couldn't the big shows be separated?

:08:54.:08:55.

You've never relaxed in your life. scheduled directly against ITV's?

:08:56.:09:01.

It appears the Government has had enough of this.

:09:02.:09:04.

this has to stop. that the BBC was about to be told

:09:05.:09:11.

So what can anyone do about these clashes?

:09:12.:09:13.

Well, the Government has been concerned about the BBC's impact

:09:14.:09:17.

on its commercial rivals for some time now, and it's understood

:09:18.:09:20.

they are looking at the possibility of whoever ends up regulating

:09:21.:09:25.

Labour said it was meddling. to either adjudicate

:09:26.:09:35.

However, in a statement, the Department of Culture says

:09:36.:09:39.

the Government is not going to be interfering in the schedules.

:09:40.:09:43.

impact on its competitors. concerned about the corporation's

:09:44.:09:47.

In terms of scheduling and Saturday nights,

:09:48.:09:50.

there will be nothing about scheduling Saturday nights.

:09:51.:09:54.

But there will be probably something about the BBC minding its Ps and Qs,

:09:55.:09:57.

on commercial competitors. sometimes has been about its impact

:09:58.:10:02.

Questions have also been raised about both ITV and the BBC

:10:03.:10:05.

at ten o'clock. bulletins at the same time,

:10:06.:10:11.

It is frustrating. the news or Strictly matter

:10:12.:10:24.

competitive for everybody. prime-time viewing that is

:10:25.:10:29.

If they clash in the schedules, does that bother you?

:10:30.:10:32.

No, because I can always do it on catch-up.

:10:33.:10:34.

And there is also the Government's own recent report on the topic,

:10:35.:10:37.

which said the impact on ITV from clashes in entertainment

The helicopter that crashed in Norway on Friday killing 13

:10:45.:10:50.

earlier, it's emerged. flights only days

:10:51.:10:54.

a warning light came on. on both occasions when

:10:55.:11:00.

The British victim of the crash has been named today as 41-year-old

:11:01.:11:03.

Iain Stuart from Laurencekirk in Aberdeenshire.

:11:04.:11:05.

His family say they are heartbroken by his death.

:11:06.:11:07.

A man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body

:11:08.:11:10.

of a teenage girl was pulled from the sea at Broadstairs in Kent.

:11:11.:11:13.

Officers were first called to the port in Ramsgate due

:11:14.:11:15.

to concerns for a person in the water; an air and sea search

:11:16.:11:18.

was carried out by the coastguard, and the body was recovered.

:11:19.:11:21.

The girl's next-of-kin have been informed.

:11:22.:11:24.

chances for young people? generate better life

:11:25.:11:30.

That was one of the themes in the final Scottish leaders' TV

:11:31.:11:34.

Parliamentary election. of Thursday's

:11:35.:11:38.

The SNP say theirs is a manifesto for the next generation

:11:39.:11:41.

which will give everyone an equal chance of going to university.

:11:42.:11:44.

So what's their record in government?

:11:45.:11:47.

Our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith has this assessment.

:11:48.:11:52.

An education fit for a future king is free for Scottish students

:11:53.:11:56.

15 universities. and all of Scotland's

:11:57.:12:01.

chance to study here. all young Scots have an equal

:12:02.:12:06.

in the Scottish election. education is a key issue

:12:07.:12:13.

Free university tuition fees are a popular policy

:12:14.:12:16.

that the SNP say is at the heart of their commitment to equal

:12:17.:12:20.

access for all students, regardless of background.

:12:21.:12:22.

But does it really help poorer students get into places like this?

:12:23.:12:25.

key promises? of the Scottish Government's

:12:26.:12:31.

The challenge is to give young people from disadvantaged

:12:32.:12:34.

from better-off families. of getting into university as kids

:12:35.:12:40.

It is still not a level playing field.

:12:41.:12:43.

are not the only barrier. they told me that is because fees

:12:44.:12:50.

When I was in school, nobody ever spoke to me about going to uni.

:12:51.:12:54.

There is not the support there, or your family's not been

:12:55.:12:59.

to university, and you don't have anybody round about you to be like,

:13:00.:13:03.

It's not going to happen. it will set you up for lif.

:13:04.:13:08.

My parents wouldn't like sit down and help me with homework

:13:09.:13:12.

and they wouldn't go after school clubs, they wouldn't

:13:13.:13:14.

go to homework clubs, it was work focussed.

:13:15.:13:17.

As soon as you can find a job and help contribute to, you know,

:13:18.:13:21.

because times are hard. like that, you are better,

:13:22.:13:25.

Everyone here thinks that free tuition is helpful,

:13:26.:13:28.

but while the Government covers the fees for all students,

:13:29.:13:31.

even the most privileged, grants to cover maintenance costs

:13:32.:13:34.

for poorer students have been cut, while loans have been increased.

:13:35.:13:37.

If you look at the reality of what has happened under the SNP

:13:38.:13:40.

by the poorer students. the highest price has been paid

:13:41.:13:44.

Bursaries for the poorer students have been cut by a third.

:13:45.:13:47.

We know in Scotland you are only half as likely to get to university

:13:48.:13:50.

if you are from a poorer background than south of the border.

:13:51.:13:53.

University isn't for everyone. we need to give extra help to people

:13:54.:13:59.

The carpentry course at West College Scotland

:14:00.:14:01.

is the preferred option for these students.

:14:21.:14:24.

The SNP say their reforms have prioritised vocational courses

:14:25.:14:27.

like bricklaying over low quality part-time studies.

:14:28.:14:29.

while improving access for everyone. colleges and universities,

:14:30.:14:36.

You have made access to university a priority.

:14:37.:14:39.

a problem? Government why is this still such

The attainment gap is a long-standing problem.

:14:51.:14:52.

improvements. Government, we have seen

:14:53.:14:56.

It is not we are going in the wrong direction.

:14:57.:14:58.

I make no apology for want doing better and do more and do it faster.

:14:59.:15:02.

Slow progress has seen a small increase in the numbers

North Korea is making last-minute preparations

for a once-in-a-generation congress of its ruling elite.

The meeting is expected to consolidate the power

:15:22.:15:24.

and authority of Kim Jong-Un as the country's Supreme Leader.

:15:25.:15:28.

North Korea is a closed and secretive state,

:15:29.:15:32.

to which journalists rarely get access.
